Turkey Curling

We arrived at the ice arena and met our opponents.
Then we met our curling "stones", each team got four frozen Butterballs, taped to metal plates.

Team photo!


Eric helped us practice and then went to Beeba during the game.




It wasn't that hard to walk on the ice in tennis shoes. William liked to slide around. I felt it helped my "moonwalk". The music was all 80's all the time, so that's why I was moonwalking.



Practice round.


William does his first throw. He's all serious.



Here we are waiting with our brooms to sweep the turkey to the target!


Here she comes again!


Now, it's my turn.


It's not as easy as it looks on the Olympics!


Can you believe WE WON? Sean's pretty good! He carried the team.


But we forfeited anyway - had to get to a birthday party. No time to win the city championship today. But watch out next year!!! This was the best fundraiser ever.
